help! yeast infections are driving me crazy?

bee asked:


I am a 25 year old girl, pretty healthy in general. I get tired easily and suffer from restless legs & cramps. Apart from that, my major problem is that I have had recurrent least infections for the past 2 years.
They started after a 2 week course of broad-spectrum antibiotocs. At that time, I didn’t know about the link between yeast infections and antibiotics so didn’t think to take an actophilius supplement (and nobody told me to).

I have been to doctors and gynaecologists, I have taken prescription meds (oral and vaginal), I have tried the ‘natural’ route, I cut out all sugar from my diet- I eat a tonne of yoghurt every day and loads of garlic.
I have even tried the super-strict anti-candida diets along with taking supplements such as caprylic acid. NOTHING has worked. It is so so frustrating. I can’t understand what is causing the infections (I feel like I have an infection nearly all of the time, but the itching gets worse before my period. My *** life is non-existent as *** is too painful).

By the way, I have been diagnosed and checked for other infections / STIs.

ANY help at all would really be appreciated.
Thanks!
ps. I have also cut yeast, refined carbs and alcohol out of my diet (should have mentioned that before)
